ACCOUNT.

Types. If you have signed up for a free or limited account, then you may only upload a limited number of Submissions, and you may only have access to the Platform for the time period set forth on your ordering page. If you have signed up for a lifetime account, the Platform is designed, subject to the payment of the applicable fees and the terms of this Agreement, to be something that you may have access to for the remainder of your natural life. In all cases, your ability to add Legacy Contacts and Linked Connections, and upload Submissions will be subject to the pricing and limitations displayed or provided through the Platform in connection with the purchase or transaction such package, in addition to the terms of this Agreement.

Users. You are permitted to access certain Content and Services without establishing a user account on the Platform, provided that you have agreed to this Agreement. However, access to and use of certain Content and Services may require that you establish a user account (an “Account“) on the Platform. Approval of your request to establish an Account will be at the sole discretion of Kinecho. If you are the Account Authority, you may authorize the authorized number of individuals as: (a) a legacy contact, who, whether or not they sign up for their own account, will have access to all your account settings, and will continue to have access for a period of time after your death or disability (a “Legacy Contact”); and/or (b) a linked connection who, if they sign up for their own account will be able to access, view, and copy your Submissions (a “Linked Connection”). If an Account is only associated with you, then you may use and access the Platform, Content, and Services through your Account as the sole User of the Account. Each user identification and password for your Account (each, “Account ID”) is personal in nature and may be used only by you or, as applicable, the User to whom the Account ID is issued. You should be aware that your Legacy Contacts may use or share your Account information and your Submissions in a way that is contrary to what you authorized when you created the Account.

Registration Information. In connection with establishing an Account, you will be asked to submit certain information about yourself and, as applicable, your Legacy Contact(s) and Linked Connection(s) (“Registration Information”). You agree that: (a) all such information you provide will be accurate, complete, and current; (b) you will maintain and promptly update all such information to keep it accurate, complete, and current; and (c) you will not provide any information belonging to another person or organization with the intent to impersonate that person or organization. By providing Registration Information, you authorize Kinecho to disclose such information as described in the Privacy Policy.

Responsibilities. You are solely responsible for all access to and use of your Account (whether authorized or unauthorized), including all Content, Submissions, and Services accessed through your Account. Kinecho may deem any actions taken through your Account to have been authorized by you. You are responsible for compliance, and the compliance any other Users of your Account, with this Agreement.

Account Authority. If you create an Account for the storage of your Submissions, then you are the “Account Authority” and will have control over your Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If an Account is only associated with you, then you will be the Account Authority for your Account, unless you designate a different Account Authority as specified below. Kinecho may deem the Account Authority to have full authority for all decisions relating to your Account, including: (a) addition or removal of Users, Linked Connections, and Legacy Contacts; (b) permissions to access your Account; (c) disputes regarding your Account; (d) notices and other communications relating to your Account; and (e) any other decisions that may be required regarding your Account. There must always be one and only one Account Authority for each Account. In the event of your death or disability, your Legacy Contact, upon payment of the applicable fees, will become the Account Authority. It is your responsibility to properly designate a new Account Authority whenever appropriate. In the event of a dispute where multiple persons claim to be the rightful Account Authority, Kinecho reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to: (1) suspend all access to your Account until an Account Authority is properly designated to Kinecho’s sole satisfaction; or (2) terminate your Account and delete your Registration Information.

22. MANDATORY DISPUTE RESOLUTION/CLASS-ARBITRATION WAIVER.

Generally. BY ENTERING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND KINECHO AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES OR DISPUTES OF ANY KIND AGAINST EACH OTHER. YOU AND KINECHO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND ALSO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. ACCORDINGLY, YOU AND KINECHO AGREE THAT NEITHER KINECHO NOR YOU WILL JOIN ANY CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM(S) OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY WHETHER IN A LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION, OR ANY OTHER PROCEEDING. YOU AND KINECHO AGREE THAT NO CLAIMS WILL BE ASSERTED IN ANY REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE, THAT NO CLAIMS WILL BE RESOLVED ON A CLASS-WIDE OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, THAT NO ARBITRATOR OR ARBITRATION FORUM WILL HAVE JURISDICTION TO ADJUDICATE ANY CLAIMS ON A CLASS-WIDE OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THAT NO RULES FOR CLASS-WIDE OR COLLECTIVE ARBITRATION WILL APPLY. THUS YOU AND KINECHO MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, NOT AS A NAMED PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and applies to all claims regardless of whether they are based on conduct that occurred prior to, during or after the term of the Agreement and regardless of whether the claims are based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory. References to the terms “Kinecho” “you,” “your,” “Party,” or “Parties” include all respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns. This arbitration provision survives termination of this Agreement. The sole exception to this arbitration agreement is that either You or Kinecho may, in the alternative, bring claims in a small claims court having competent jurisdiction.

Arbitration Procedure. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other party, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Kinecho should be addressed to: Kinecho Management Team. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. If Kinecho and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Kinecho may commence an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement. A single neutral arbitrator will be selected by agreement of the parties. If an agreement cannot be reached, a single neutral arbitrator will be selected according to the AAA’s procedures and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”), and the claims will be resolved pursuant to this Mandatory Dispute Resolution/Class-Arbitration Waiver provision and the AAA Rules in effect when the claim is filed. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration and can also be obtained by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. AAA will administer the arbitration, and you may file a demand for arbitration at www.adr.org. Unless Kinecho and you agree otherwise, any in-person arbitration hearings will occur within 100 miles of your address, with the preference that it occur in the county/parish of your address. If a claim is for $10,000 or less, the party submitting the claim may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator (“desk arbitration”), through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. The arbitrator conducting a desk arbitration or telephonic hearing may be located anywhere in the United States. If a claim exceeds $10,000, the AAA Rules govern where a hearing occurs. The arbitration will be confidential, but either party may notify any governmental authority of the claim.

Arbitrator’s Authority. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement, and the arbitrator’s authority is limited to claims between you and Kinecho. The arbitrator has no authority to join or consolidate claims unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The arbitrator, not any court or agency, has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator may award all relief or remedies available in court, including declaratory and injunctive relief, but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that individual’s claim.

Costs of Arbitration. Except as otherwise provided for herein, Kinecho will: (a) pay all AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in accordance with this arbitration provision and (b) will not seek an award of its attorney’s fees. If the arbitrator finds that the substance of the claim or the relief sought is frivolous, however, then the AAA Rules will govern the payment of all fees, and Kinecho may seek an award of its reasonable attorney’s fees. Furthermore, if you initiate an arbitration seeking more than $75,000 in damages, the AAA Rules govern the payment of all fees. You are responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including but not limited to, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this provision, Kinecho will pay all fees and costs that it is required to pay under the law.

Changes. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you agree that if Kinecho makes any future change to this Dispute Resolution Provision (other than a change to the Notice address listed above) during the term of this Agreement, you may reject any such change by sending Kinecho written notice within 30 days of the change to the Notice address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision. Changes made to this provision after either party has submitted a Notice will not affect the pending dispute.

Governing Law, Enforcement, and Waivers. The Federal Arbitration Act, and not state law, applies to this Mandatory Dispute Resolution/Class-Arbitration Waiver provision and governs all questions of whether a claim is subject to arbitration. If any portion of the Mandatory Dispute Resolution/Class-Arbitration Waiver provision is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the provision remains in full force and effect.

23. GOVERNING LAW. Subject to Section 22, the interpretation of the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement, and any negotiations, arbitrations, or other legal proceedings hereunder, will be governed in all respects exclusively by the laws of the State of Colorado, U.S.A. as such laws apply to contracts between Colorado residents performed entirely within Colorado.

24. FORCE MAJEURE. Kinecho shall not be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder for any acts of god, fire, flood, war, changing economic conditions, changing technology, or any other cause which is beyond the reasonable control of Kinecho.

With Kinecho’s consent, you may assign your rights under this Agreement to any party that consents to, and agrees to be bound by, its terms and conditions.
